Chimneys Tank Top

Another view from my office window, looking over the rooftops of Edinburgh, Scotland. In the distance can be seen the River Forth and beyond it the Kingdom of Fife. The city is affectionately nicknamed Auld Reekie (Scots for Old Smoky), because when buildings were heated by coal and wood fires, chimneys would spew thick columns of smoke into the air. Thankfully, most people have central heating now and the chimneys are just an interesting feature which mostly just provide ventilation.
